soon.• Community issue

credit• See me after class or later the day you return• You can keep up by
– getting assignments from the class web page.– Contacting me by e-mail (I can even send you any worksheets I have
on file.)– have on file.)
• Late Work: no higher mark than a C-.• Plagiarism/copying: automatic failure
– If you do not cite a source and use at least six words exactly from the source.
– You and the person(s) you borrowed from/allowed to copy any class writing assignment.
Success IV
• You will achieve as much as you prepare for this course each day. – LAUSD requires 40 minutes of homework and
study, each night, for a five-day week. • Almost all your assignments and studies should fit
that time frame.
• Late work: I will accept late work up to 5 school days prior to each grading period’s deadline. Not after. – C- max, if it qualifies
